It's the same as people saying not to use calcs or Wikipedia, new times same issues.
But we very much do enforce times on when not to use calcs. Thars the whole point here.
It's worse than that, even. The calcs and even the Wikis were below or at human error levels, the AIs will peak below 95% accuracy with infinite power and training according to studies by OpenAI in 2020 and Deepmind in 2022 correcting a math error they made.
